Plain-English summary

Kenosha Beef International, LTD. is recalling approximately 3,960 pounds of beef patty products due to misbranding and undeclared allergens. The products contain milk in the form of cheddar cheese, a known allergen that was not declared on the finished product label. Additionally, the products contain undeclared bacon.

The affected items are JP O'Reillys Pub Burger family packs and Bacon & Cheddar Beef Patties produced on June 14, 2017. These products were shipped to retail locations in Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania. The issue was discovered after consumer complaints noted that the products were labeled as plain beef burgers but actually contained bacon and cheddar.

There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Consumers who have purchased these items are urged not to consume them and should throw them away or return them to the place of purchase.
